- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

If a sweeter drink is desired, add honey to the mixture and stir until completely dissolved.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Divide the cider mixture evenly between the glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with sparkling water to give the drink a fizzy finish.
